THANKSGIVING DAY SERVICE
November 27
9:00 a.m.
Led by Rev. Dean DeFino
Dear Members and Friends of Trinity U.M.C.:

Thanksgiving is a time when we pause with family and friends to reflect on Gods
blessing. As you think back over the past year, I am sure that you too have much for
which to be grateful. We are indeed privileged to live in intimacy and fellowship
with our Creator. The blessings that we experience come from the love and support
of family and friends. The sense of accomplishment that comes with our success
and the pleasures and benefits derived from hard work.

Helen Steiner Rice says it well in the following poem:

MAKE EVERY DAY THANKSGIVING

Thank you, God, for everything
the big things and the small,
For every good gift comes from God
the giver of them all,
Too often we accept
without any thanks or praise
The gifts God sends as blessings
each day in many ways,
O, make us more aware, dear God,
of little daily graces
That come to us with sweet surprise
from never-dreamed of places,
And help us to remember
that the key to life and living
Is to make each prayer a prayer of thanks
And every day Thanksgiving.

From the staff here at Trinity and our families, we want you to know how grateful
we are for your presence, prayers, support, and encouragement. Because of your
graciousness and generosity, Trinity United Methodist Church is able to share
Gods love with hundreds of people who enter its doors each week, listen online, or
receive a DVD. Indeed we wish you a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving.

Grace and Peace,

George R. Patterson, MDiv.
Senior Pastor

FAMILY HEALTH HISTORY
Health Outreach Ministry
Dr. Dot Baker
How much do you know about your familys health history? Why do you need to know? What do you need to
know? How do you find out? What if you have no family history? How can you use this information to help your
own health? Need Help?? Where can you find resources & more information? Helpful tip = Use holiday time to
talk with your family & create your personal Family Health History.
HOW MUCH? Think for a moment about how much you really know about your familys health history. Is it
a teaspoon or a cup full of information? Well, get out your computer or pen & paper. Its time for you to write
it down, share it with your family, & keep a copy in a safe place. WHY? Youve figured it out. You inherited Aunt
Joans curly hair and Granddad Bills body build. You can also inherit their tendency for heart disease, diabetes,
cancer, and other conditions. So, you need to know their health history as well as their physical traits.
WHAT INFO? Obtain information for at least THREE generations of grandparents, parents, aunts/uncles,
nieces/nephews, brothers/sisters, & children. Names of medical conditions, age when disease began, any treat-
ments, lifestyle behaviors (such as alcoholism, smoking, drug use), age of death, cause(s) of death (disease? ac-
cident? suicide? obesity?), ethnic background, social factors (such as marital status, place of residence, place of
burial), work factors (occupation, work exposures such as chemicals, coal mine dust), etc.
HOW do you find out this information? Ask questions, talk at family gatherings, and look at death certif-
icates & family medical records, if possible. Assemble the information. If you do not have any family history (no
living relatives or adoption), then you may be unaware of some diseases or family who died young before they
developed conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. So, you need to pay attention to a healthy
lifestyle and any other factors that can prevent those conditions.
KEY FEATURES to notice? If disease occurs: > at earlier age than expected > in more than one close
relative > in opposite gender usually not affected > in combinations (heart disease & diabetes, breast & ovarian
cancer). Look for patterns & trends.
HOW to use? You can recognize potential risks. Share with family members & healthcare providers. Healthcare
provider may: notice patterns, assess your risk, recommend lifestyle changes, prescribe tests for early detec-
tion, suggest specialist care. Choose healthy behaviors such as good eating habits, physical activity, regular
medical care, emotional health care, and appropriate screening tests. Good choices may reduce your risk for dis-
eases that run in your family. Check out your resources & make your Family Health History NOW.

By Carolyn Lewis, RN
We have enjoyed really nice weather for the
month of October and hopefully the trend will con-
tinue in the month ahead. We have beautiful fall col-
ors showing up in the leaves on the trees and also in
flowers that are blooming.
Parkinsons disease effects thousands of people
each year and although there are medications availa-
ble to treat the symptoms, it is helpful to know that
simple things like walking may also prove to be ben-
eficial in the treatment.
I found the following article on walking, and
thought I would share my findings.

Walking Works More Magic This Time in
Parkinsons
Parkinson's patient and activist John Krumbholz of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa takes a walk. A new study
shows walking can reduce the symptoms of Parkin-
son's disease.
Walking is an almost magic elixir, doctors like to
say. It can reverse diabetes, lower blood pressure,
and help people keep the fat off. Now a study shows
it can also help people with Parkinsons disease.
Parkinsons patients who walked just three times a
week felt less tired, less depressed and they found
their Parkinsons symptomsimproved, also.
The results of our study suggest that walking may
provide a safe and easily accessible way of improv-
ing the symptoms of Parkinsons disease and im-
prove quality of life, Dr. Ergun Uc of the University
of Iowa and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center of
Iowa City, who led the study.
The findings would only apply to Parkinsons pa-
tients who can still walk easily. Parkinsons is
caused by the loss of brain cells that produce a mes-
sage carrying-chemical, or neurotransmitter, that is
important for movement. Symptoms can start with a
barely noticeable trembling but worsen to difficulty
walking and talking, depression and other disability.
Theres no cure and the drugs used to treat the condi-
tion usually stop helping over time.

Some people have trouble walking. But for those
who dont, the study found, walking can help their
symptoms.
And other research suggests that regular exercise can
help slow down the progression of Parkinsons. Var-
ious programs show that dancing, cy-
cling, Pilates and even boxing can help.
But walking has a big advantage people can do it
anywhere, without special equipment, and on their
own schedules.
For the study, Ucs team recruited willing Parkin-
sons patients and ran a battery of tests to make sure
they were walking at a moderate pace, fast enough to
raise their heart rates a bit, but not too much. The
volunteers walked for 45 minutes at an average of
2.9 miles an hour and raised their heart rates to 47
percent of capacity. They said 48 people completed
the six-month study.
We observed improvements in aerobic fitness, mo-
tor function, fatigue, mood, and aspects of executive
functions and quality of life, Ucs team wrote in the
journal Neurology.
Aerobic walking may represent an accessible, low-
risk supplemental treatment for fatigue and depres-
sion, and improve quality of life in Parkinsons dis-
ease as in aging, primary depression, cancer, and
other chronic medical conditions.
The federal government recommends that adults get
150 minutes per week of moderate exercise thats
just half an hour a day, five days a week, but hardly
any Americans meet that goal.
Its just the latest in a series of studies that show ex-
ercise, especially walking, can help pre-
vent Alzheimers disease, stroke, heart disease
and depression. It can even help you live longer.

Stories from the Basement
Help and Outreach Point of Entry, Inc.
by
Donna Clark RN, Director

He rides his bike into town every morning. A quiet man who does his best to remain invisible and succeeds at it very
well. Most of the time you would never notice him. Dressed in dark clothing, riding a dark bike and never making eye
contact with strangers, he lives a fairly undisturbed life. However, he hears voices that haunt him and sometimes drive
him to hide in the woods for lengths of time. He is a strong man, but not one to look for trouble. If he is in a group of
people and the emotions or volume level start to rise, he will disappear. Lately, he has done well thanks to his mental
health care providers, a case manager from the Wicomico County Health Department, and his friends here at H.O.P.E.,
Inc.
A client of our agency since December 2010, he has delivered plenty of challenges to our doors. His ability to remem-
ber appointments and medications can at times become a big issue, and he has been the recipient of heavy lectures from
me about responsibilities. We have tried many tricks to help him remember, but making him be aware that it is his job to
take care of himself has worked well recently. His desire for love and companionship has created many problems as
people took advantage of him and caused more issues for him mentally. Now, the love and devotion of a homeless dog
has given him a sense of being needed and stable. When he shared with us that he had adopted the stray dog, he said,
Ive never been a daddy before. Our volunteer responded with, Well you are now Buddy!
In our office he is comfortable, and he shares stories of his life. His smile reaches from one side of his face to the oth-
er, endearing him to all of our staff. If you mention fishing, he beams from ear to ear, and the conversation will get high-
ly excited. One of our volunteers is also a fisherman, and the tales get more interesting every time they are shared, just
as the size of the fish get bigger with each telling.
As we care for this gentle person, I remember Christs words in John 13:34-35.

Ask the Rev!!!

Ask the Rev is a Trumpet newsletter feature where Rev. DeFino will answer your ques-
tions on the Bible, doctrine or religious beliefs and events. Send or call your questions
into the church office and they will be answered in future issues.


Why should we support Israel?

Most political issues are beyond the scope of the church, for Christ was not greatly involved in
these types of issues. However, there are several governmental concerns that directly affect principles and Christian doc-
trine that the church cannot ignore. The abortion issue, gambling, and the definition of marriage are a few of these. One
of the most primary civil questions of concern to Christians is our support of Israel, for it is one of the few political is-
sues addressed in Scripture. There are many political reasons for supporting Israel, which have been widely expressed.
Israel is the only democratic nation in that region of the world and has always been an important ally of the United
States. But what about Spiritual reasons for supporting Israel? The Bible is very clear that God made an unconditional
promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob about the land He would give them. Prophecy in both the Old and New Testa-
ments talks about the fulfilling of this promise and a dire warning to nations that would try to prohibit it.(1)

The famous passage of separating the sheep and the goats given in Matthew 25:31-46 talking about the nations of the
world and how they treated the least among the people is a direct reference to the Jewish people and their nation today.
This is often used as a reference for caring for the poor which we should do, but it is in the content of judging the nations
and whether they supported the Jews when they were hungry or cold. It is a powerful warning to nations that would op-
pose the nation of Israel. This does not mean that everything that Israel does is right, for no nation, including our own,
could make such a claim. It is clear however that as Christians and as a nation, we should support the nation of Israel in
their pursuit of freedom and living at peace in their land, for that will be exactly what Christ will do for them when He
returns.


Matthew 25:31-46:

31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32
All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the
sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 "Then the King will say to those
on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the
creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something
to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after
me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hun-
gry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or
needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40 "The King will reply,
'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' 41 "Then he will say
to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42
For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger
and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look
after me.' 44 "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or
sick or in prison, and did not help you?' 45 "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the
least of these, you did not do for me.' 46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal
life."

One Mystery Solved and Another Continues:
Mosaics and Stained Glass Windows

Diane C. Wright, an expert in Tiffany stained glass and mosaics, came to Trinity in June at our
request for assistance in identifying the designer of our stained glass windows and mosaics. For
years, it has been speculated that our stained glass windows were designed and made by Louis C.
Tiffany, a prolific designer and manufacturer of stained glass windows at the turn of the century.
Diane took notes and pictures to help her with the research on our windows and mosaics.
Diane was able to find two pieces of primary documentation that our mosaics, a rare product of
Tiffany, was designed by Frederick Wilson and manufactured by Tiffany. Frederick Wilson is the
chief designer and head of the Tiffany Ecclesiastical Division. Diane shared this information with a
sanctuary full of members and interested community members when she presented her findings on
September 19, 2014.
She confirmed that our mosaics, displayed on either side of the altar, were created by Louis C. Tiffany Studios in
1910. The mosaics were donated by Nannie Rider Jackson in honor of her parents and her husband, Governor Jackson.
Diane went on to tell us the eight stained glass windows were of high quality and beautifully designed, but they were
atypical of Tiffany Studios. The windows are highly painted in the style of Medieval Europe (consistent with the Rom-
anesque design) and the feathering on the wings is not similar to Tiffanys glass design. After her presentation, she sug-
gested that we continue to pursue our quest by contacting J&R Lamb Studios in New Jersey which has been in the
stained glass business for 157 years and who has an extensive inventory of their windows.
We made contact with Don Samick, CEO and owner of J&R Lamb Studios, who visited Trinity and toured the sanctu-
ary on Friday, October 10, 2014. He agreed with Diane Wright that the eight windows were high quality windows and
not created by Lamb Studios, but that may have been created by a Philadelphia studio. There were at least four national-
ly prominent stained glass studios in Philadelphia operating at the turn of the century.
While Don was here, he examined the windows in the sanctuary, answered questions about the design of the windows,
and evaluated the current condition and status of the windows. He found that the eight windows are in good condition.
There is minimal breakage, sagging, or bulging and the cames (the leaded supports) are in good shape. Although the
windows have some soot (possibly from the 1940 fire and/or candlelight services), cleaning at this time would be a per-
sonal preference and not a major need. Lamb studios will submit a complete report that will contain his recommenda-
tions and steps to maintain and preserve our beautiful windows.
Because Lamb Studios does a great deal of restoration of stained glass windows from many studios, he has a working
knowledge of the style and design of each of the prominent stained glass studios at the turn of the century.
In his walk through our church, he was able to point out specific details to look for to help make a decision about the
creators of our windows. It was not uncommon for architects to work with particular stained glass studios so we will
research the records of the architect, Charles Cassell, who also designed many prominent buildings in Washington and
Baltimore.
In our current search, we have found the Rich Man stained glass window in a church in Chestertown that was made
by DAscenzo Studios in Philadelphia. Nicola DAscenzo was born in Italy and came to America where he opened and
operated one of the most preeminent stained glass window studios in America.
Cape May churches have windows with similar designs to ours made by William Reith Studios also from Philadelphia.
Reith was one of the premiere stained glass window studios at the turn of the century. Many of his windows are in
churches in Cape May, New Jersey. He was born and studied in Germany where he learned medieval stained glass win-
dow design; then came to America where he combined American opalescent glass with his medieval glass knowledge.
Since the visit from Lamb Studios, we have reviewed over 2,500 images from archived records from Philadelphia
Stained Glass Studios. The search for the designer of our windows continues

Christmas Eve Luminaries On Sale

Once again, Luminaries will surround the church on Christmas Eve. It takes 200 bags to completely
place luminaries around our church. The sale of luminaries, will take place before each service on De-
cember 7, 14, and 21. The bags can be dedicated to family or friends. Proceeds from the $10 donation
will go to our Trinity Disaster Relief Team.

The food item for November is canned POTATOES! Please bring in any kind of potatoes, canned, boxed,
packaged, and a side of GRAVY would be nice, too! In addition to our monthly food items, the Lazarus Food
Pantry still needs cer tain foods to supplement the gover nment food. These include: cer eal, peanut butter
and jelly, pasta and sauce, ready to eat snack and meat items, and canned soups. They also continue to need
small personal hygiene items such as deodorant, soap bars, shampoos, lotions, toothpaste and toothbrushes,
womens personal items, razor and shaving cream, chap stick, etc. If you are interested in helping bag these
items for the Pantry, please call Dawn Shores at the Salisbury Urban Ministries Lazarus Food Pantry, 410-749
-1563.

The Salisbury Urban Ministry has a Mens Welcome Center for homeless men. The Center is in need of
mens jeans size 32 or 34, and mens white T-shirts. Any of these items may be dropped off in the back of the
sanctuary or taken to the church office.

Trinity members continue to feed the hungry and homeless at the Joseph House on the third Wednesday of
every month. October we served 100 hot meals, rolls, salad and assorted pound cakes. All diners were very
grateful! Our next day to serve is Wednesday, November 19.

Thank you for your continuous and generous support of Trinitys Missions Pr ojects!

Be an angel!

Angel Tree Ministries is fast approaching! Look
for the white tree in the back of the sanctuary. Select
your Angel Tree tag while they still are available from
the tree. Each child receives one fun gift, such as a
toy, and one clothing item. We are also going to pro-
vide each family with a $25 gift card to Walmart, so
you may choose to purchase a gift card by selecting a
Walmart gift tag from the tree. Please prayerfully
consider these children and their caregivers.

If you remove a tag, please fill out the tracking
card and place it in the box provided. This will allow
us to contact you if there are any issues regarding
your child. Your wrapped gift should be returned to
the back of the sanctuary. Please be sure that
the angel tag you took from the tree is affixed to the
gift so that it can be properly identified.

How else can you help? We really need volun-
teers to help deliver the gifts. A delivery volun-
teer sign-up sheet will be in the back of the sanc-
tuary, next to the Angel Tree. We only deliver during
daylight hours. It generally takes about 15 minutes to
complete this volunteer project. Delivery times are
generally from 11:00 a. m. to 1:00 p. m. This time is
flexible, based on your availability, but the time must
be called in to the receiving family in advance.

Dates for returning gifts to the sanctuary and for
delivering the gifts will be promulgated in the church
bulletin at a later date.

If you have any other questions, please contact
Katie Mason (410-430-6331), Laurie Webb (443-614-
3727), or the church office (410-749-5562).

CONGREGATIONAL CARE.
We are so blessed to have so many talented people in our congregation, and we pray that each of you will carefully
and prayerfully consider the options that are available to serve in our church. We need people to greet, usher at all three
services, Sunday School teachers, people who would love to sing Gods praises, fold bulletins and help with the Trum-
pet mailings, and the food ministry and the list just goes on.
If you are so led to fill any of our ministers by your time or talents, we would be so happy to have you join us.


ALTAR GUILD
The Altar Guild will be meeting on November 20 at 9:30 in the back of the church and we will
plan for our Thanksgiving services and also Christmas. It is hard to believe that Christmas is just
around the corner.
We will be placing the slips in the pews for Poinsettias on November 21, and all orders are due
into the church office no later than December 8. The cost of the poinsettias will remain at $12.50.

I would like to thank Rev. Patterson for his outpouring
of love at the time of my sons passing. Thanks for the
cards, prayers, and thoughts from the church family. I
know that time will heal my heartaches, and that we will
remember all of the fun times with him.
Fondly,
Shirley Sonnier and family

Thanks to the doctors and healing powers of God. It
looks as though I have come through this ordeal wonder-
fully blessed. With that said, I want to thank our minis-
ters for their visits and everyone sending cards and mak-
ing phone calls of concern. PRAISE GOD!!!!
Thank you,
Randy Wootten

My heartfelt thanks to all the people of Trinity for their
cards, notes, phone calls, visits, and prayers during my
recent hospitalizations and recovery. Its so good to be
home!
Sincerely,
Dorothy Matthews

Many thanks to my church family for prayers, cards,
and visits, along with the strong support from Rev. Patter-
son, in the death of Wayne Robertson. The Lord above
and your friendships have gotten our family through this
difficult time.
Sylvia, Scott, and Bruce Robertson

TRINITY UMC MILITARY COUPON PROGRAM
T.A. Phillips

Trinity continues to superbly support this program. Since July 2009, we have exceeded one million dollar val-
ue of coupons. We mailed September 2014 coupons to U.S. Marine Corps, Awaken, Japan.

HELPFUL TIPS: Please do not tear the coupon booklets apar t. Leave the booklets fastened together
just like they arrive in the newspaper. If you do cut out the coupons: cut them into single coupons not in strips.
Please do not staple or roll the coupons with a rubber band.

As always, thank you for your response to support this mission to military personnel and families who serve
our country.
